Conducting reactions in environmentally benign conditions is one of the major objectives of “green chemistry.” In this context, developing ways to conduct reactions in water seems obvious. In this report, we present our results on photodimerization of select guest molecules placed within the rigid reaction cavity of a water-soluble cavitand, octa acid. The results presented herein highlight the value of a supramolecular approach in achieving selectivity in photoreactions and opening reaction pathways that are latent in solution chemistry.
Irradiation of the CT bands of p-methoxy- and p-methylstyrene with oxygen induced the dimerization of the olefins through their cation radicals generated by electron transfer on CT excitation.
Electron Transfer Resulting from Excitation of Contact Charge Transfer Complexes of Some Styrene Derivatives and Oxygen. The Role of Oxygen as an Electron Acceptor
7-methyl-1-(4-tolyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (5) and 6-methyl-4-(4-tolyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one (6) were also afforded. The formation of these products is reasonably explained by electron transfer in the excited CCT pair followed by addition of the resulting 1 cation radical to ground-state 1 to form a dimer cation radical; its cyclization leads to the dimeric products and trapping

The [2+2] cycloaddition of alkenes is a powerful method of preparing cyclobutanes, but the use of electron-deficient styrenes has been largely neglected so far. By using the organophotocatalyst 4CzIPN, a visible-light-mediated procedure to cyclobutane motifs bearing electron-deficient aryl substituents has been developed. Homodimerisations as well as intramolecular reactions to fused bicyclic motifs
